Wisconsin-based Johnson Controls' subsidiary, Tyco Fire Products, has agreed to a $750 million settlement on Friday with several US public water organizations over the presence of 'forever chemicals' in PFAS-impacted communities, allegedly linked to the company's products. This settlement follows a trend of legal actions against companies for environmental contamination, as seen with DuPont and 3M's previous multibillion-dollar settlements over similar issues. The settlement aims to address the damages caused by the PFAS chemicals, which have been detected in various water systems across the country. A preliminary approval of the settlement is expected by mid-May.
